101-Rom Error Message in Compaq Concerto Docking System (134498)
The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q134498 SYMPTOMS
If you install Windows 95 on a Compaq Concerto computer while it is docked,
you may receive the following error message when the computer restarts in
the docking station:
101-ROM Error
After you receive the error message, the computer does not start Windows
95.
CAUSE
During Windows 95 setup, the Concerto BIOS makes incorrect settings to the
built-in Ethernet adapter, preventing the computer from starting Windows 95
while it is inserted in the docking station.
RESOLUTION
Contact Compaq for instructions about how to correct the docking station
settings. Compaq can also provide you with an updated BIOS that corrects
the problem.
MORE INFORMATION
Early versions of the Compaq Concerto BIOS allowed the built-in Ethernet
Controller EPROMs to be reprogrammed by the BIOS to incorrect values. This
problem appears to be common when setting up Windows 95 on a Compaq
Concerto with an early BIOS.
We do not know the exact BIOS version that corrects the problem, but
versions released after 7/1/95 are known to work correctly.
